Chiesa di San Basilio, National heritage church in San Basilio district, Rome, Italy

The Chiesa di San Basilio is a church with modern architectural features located in the San Basilio residential neighborhood in northeastern Rome. The building has a simple, clean design typical of 20th century religious structures, with functional layouts built to serve the local community.

Architect Augusto Baccin designed this church, which opened in 1963 as the San Basilio neighborhood was expanding as a residential area. The building was created as part of Rome's post-war growth when many new residential quarters were being developed.

The church is named after St. Basil the Great, the 4th-century theologian whose face appears in the mosaic above the travertine portal. A statue of Pope John XXIII in the garden, placed in 1986, recalls his visit on 31 March 1963, when the building was still under construction; a plaque at the entrance also commemorates the event.

The church stands on Piazzale Recanati and is reached by a short flight of steps through a front garden, so step-free entry is not available from the street. The medieval tower beside it is now part of the parish complex. The building faces the piazzale in the San Basilio quarter of northeastern Rome.

A medieval tower stands beside the church, now incorporated into the parish complex. The polygonal apse was frescoed in 2020 by Centro Aletti with seven panels inspired by Basil the Great's Hexaemeron, a fourth-century commentary on the six days of creation.
